Mom: My Kids Found Porn on 'Dora the Explorer' DVD

Disney's 'Tangled' Takes On the Serious Issue of Emotional Child Abuse
By Jeffrey Weiss - Politics DailyA week or so ago, thousands of Facebook users changed their identifying photos to cartoon characters in a vague attempt to "raise awareness" of child abuse. Ironically, at the same time a new hit movie was using animation to focus on the same subject in a more sophisticated manner. The movie? Disney's "Tangled." No kidding. Slipped inside the gorgeous images, entertaining songs and fairy-tale narrative is a clear-eyed look at the way predatory abusers maintain control of their victims. The villain may be Disney's skin-crawlingly nastiest because her evil is so un-magically human. [SPOILER ...
Facebook Profile Picture Meme: From Cartoons to Pedophiles [TIMELINE]
By Steven Hoffer - AOL News(Dec. 6) -- The Facebook profile cartoon meme is on a viral tear. The campaign encourages users to update their Facebook profile pictures to classic cartoon characters and has evolved from a harmless attempt at creating a nostalgic meme into, according to unconfirmed reports that don't make a lot of sense, an organized effort by pedophiles across the Internet seeking to connect with children on Facebook. Sound confusing? The meme has left many Facebook users scratching their heads. So Surge Desk sifted through the reports and offers some insight with this timeline documenting the cartoon ...
Cartoon Character Facebook Meme: I'm Bambi. Or Not.
By Donna Trussell - Politics DailyI'm Bambi. I'd like to be, anyway. But it doesn't take much to bring out the Tasmanian Devil in me. Yesterday ABC News reported on the new meme sweeping Facebook. People are replacing their profile pictures with a childhood favorite cartoon character. According to knowyourmeme.com, the cartoon character game started three weeks ago in Greece and Cyprus. The original plan was to remove all pictures of humans from Facebook, but that meme morphed into yet another "awareness" game, similar to the bra color (breast cancer) and purse (female empowerment) games months ago. This time the good cause ...
A Look at the World's Stupidest Comics
By David Moye - AOL News
(Sept. 29) -- Comic book fans and collectors usually focus on titles that were successful, artistically valid or of historical importance. Rarely do they focus on those that are, well, stupid. That's left the door wide open for Shaindle Minuk and her hubby, David Merrill, who for more than five years have been showcasing the lamest, silliest and dumbest characters and stories from comics past on a website fittingly called "Stupid Comics." MisterKitty.org Back in the mid-1960s, Dell Publishing decided to exploit the popularity of monsters and superheroes by turning Count Dracula into a ...
US Cartoon of Mexican Flag Draws Ire
By Lauren Frayer - AOL News(Sept. 4) -- An American cartoonist's rendition of the Mexican flag is causing controversy south of the border, where Mexicans say it's offensive to taint their national symbol with images of drug violence. Political cartoonist Daryl Cagle's drawing, which ran on the front page of several Mexican newspapers this week, shows what's normally a regal-looking eagle at the center of Mexico's flag riddled with bullets and bleeding. It's a reference to the drug wars that have riled Mexico and left more than 28,000 people dead there in less than four years. "Editorial cartoonists look for readily ...
